| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Jul 18 09:56PM As I mentiond in my 2023-05-24 companion posting, the Canadian Inquisition has resumed play as a smaller league and the season now in progress consists of only 9 games and a Final. With Game 9 having been played last night, I can now report on the easiest and hardest games of the regular season. The three easiest rounds of the season have already been posted here: 1st - Game 4, Round 10 - Challenge Round - JCVD 2nd - Game 1, Round 6 - Miscellaneous - Car Models 3rd - Game 2, Round 4 - Science - Name That Element I will note the 4th-easiest round when it comes up. Two rounds were tied for hardest of the season, but one of them is an audio round and therefore not posted here. The other was: 1st/2nd [1st ignoring audio] - Game 2, Round 8 - History - Weapons of the Russo-Ukrainian War Another audio round was the 3rd-hardest, and the two next-hardest rounds that have already been posted here were: 4th/5th [2nd/3rd] - Game 2, Round 9 - Arts - Modern Architects 6th [4th] - Game 1, Round 7 - Science - Amino Acids I will note the other round that was tied for 4th/5th [2nd/3rd] when it comes up. -- Mark Brader "If Benjamin Franklin was alive today, he'd be Toronto arrested for sailing a kite without a license." msb@vex.net -- Tucker: The Man and his Dream My text in this article is in the public domain. |

Oops, in compiling that list I missed that there was a tie for 4th/5th-easiest. One of the tied rounds was 4th/5th - Game 3, Round 5 - Audio - #100 Years, 100 Songs which I've posted here in non-audio form. And I'll note the *other* one when it comes up. -- Mark Brader, Toronto | Since you invoked Wikipedia, I used [it] in my defense. msb@vex.net | Don't make me do that again. --Stephen Perry My text in this article is in the public domain. |
